A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I was covered in sweat, and my heart was pounding like a drum.

Chunyan's mother really treats me like her own son, she actually said this to me.

"That's enough, go ahead."

Suddenly, Chunyan's mother slapped me on the bottom and laughed, "Don't you dare bully Chunyan, or I'll never forgive you."

"No, Auntie, you should rest."

I turned around and fled as if I were running away.

I ran up to the third floor in one breath, but then I remembered that damned fatso Kuai Dafa. So I turned back and went to the door of 404, and kicked the fatso's security door twice!

If you disgust me, I'll disgust you.

I'm just a barefoot country bumpkin, why would I be afraid of a businessman who wears shoes?

You like playing games, but one day I'll play you to death!

After kicking it a couple of times, I felt much better and whistled as I returned to 302.

"Old Wang, take a rest for a bit, I'll give you a bath..."

Chunyan walked over very gently.

I hugged Chunyan.

"You're all sweaty, go take a shower." Chunyan kissed me, blushing as she whispered, "Tonight, I'll do whatever you say..."

"It's strange, why does men smell so bad when they sweat, while women smell so good when they sweat?"

Suddenly, my thoughts were elevated, and I remembered this academic question.

"How should I know? Anyway, everyone says he's a stinky man."

Chunyan chuckled and unbuttoned my shirt: "Let's take a shower, I'll help you."

I nodded, went to the bedroom to take off my trousers, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Chunyan helped me, but as I helped her, she blushed and didn't dare to look at me.

Sigh, I'm such a disappointment. I can't control my hormones and I can't hide my ugliness.

The sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom.

There's no shower, no water heater, just a bathtub, but it's rarely used.

When taking a bath, fill a basin with water, place it on a stool, and stand while bathing.

Li Jie and I usually wash our clothes like this.

Chunyan carefully washed my hair and dried my body, her movements gentle, like a tender young wife.

I accepted Chunyan's service and stood there stiffly, completely still.

"Can you wash the bottom half yourself?"

Chunyan looked at me, blushing as she smiled, "I've wiped both your legs..."

"Fine, you can go out, I'll wash myself."

Spring Swallow breathed a sigh of relief and slipped out.

I quickly finished washing up, went to the small bedroom to change into clean shorts, lay down, and let Chunyan blow-dry my hair and change my dressing.

After all that fuss, it was already midnight.

Chunyan sat on the edge of the bed and asked me softly, "Are you going to sleep?"

With a click, I turned off the light.

Chunyan nestled in my arms and whispered in my ear, "You turned off the light, so I can't see."

I asked, puzzled, "What do you want to see?"

"This is something my mom sent. Put it on for you, but it's dark and I can't see anything, what am I supposed to do?"

"Never mind, Chunyan, my arm still hurts, I can't move it..."

I hugged Chunyan: "In a couple of days, when I'm better, I'll buy you a couple of outfits. I haven't given you anything, and yet I want you to be with me; I can't accept that."

"Then you're just enduring it...aren't you uncomfortable?"

"Just stay here with me, that's enough."

I held Chunyan in my arms, basking in her youthful beauty, but my mind was chanting: "Amitabha, Hallelujah... one sheep, two sheep, three sheep..."

"What do you mean one sheep or two sheep? You're tickling me so much!"

Chunyan giggled.

As we laughed, we both lost control of our emotions.

Without realizing it, I unwittingly entered the depths of Chunyan's heart and felt her purest and most primal warmth and love.

As Eileen Chang said, there is only one necessary path for a man to enter a woman's heart.

Tonight, the swallows let me go.

With a mixture of shyness and enthusiasm, she completely embraced and accepted me.

It was around 2 a.m. when Chunyan and I finally went to sleep together.

I kept Chunyan's mother's words in mind. Although I was covered in sweat, I didn't dare to take a bath; although I was thirsty, I didn't dare to drink cold water.

……

The next morning, I was woken up by a phone call while I was still asleep.

It was Kuai Dafa who called.

"Kuai Dafa, it's you again." I answered the phone lazily.

Chunyan lay in my arms, staring at me with wide eyes.

"Wang Yaozu, you kicked down my door again last night, didn't you?"

The fat man yelled on the phone, "Don't push your luck! I'll move out, and you can return my rent and deposit!"

Chunyan wanted to get up, but I held her down.

I sneered into the phone, "Kuai Dafu, get the bathroom fixed right now. I'm coming over immediately. If it's not fixed today, don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, I hung up the phone and tossed it aside, then looked down at Chunyan in my arms.

Chunyan laughed and scolded, "I'm scared of you, Lao Wang. You kept me up all night last night, I can't take it anymore..."

"What do you mean, 'one night'? That's nonsense."

"Okay, okay, let me go to the toilet, alright? If you don't let me go, I'm going to wet the bed..." Chunyan hit me all over.

I had no choice but to let go.

Chunyan got up and went to the bathroom without even putting on her clothes.

Fortunately, Chunyan kept her word and returned two minutes later.

We fooled around for another half hour, saying lots of sweet and cheesy lovey-dovey things, until sunrise before we finally got up.

Chunyan looked back at the bed sheet, suddenly blushed, and rolled it up.

"What's wrong, Chunyan? Did you wet the bed?"

"You're the one who wets the bed..."

Chunyan unfolded the bed sheet, rolled her eyes at me, and said, "Look at this, it's so dirty, it needs to be washed."

I glanced at the bed sheet and suddenly realized something. I hugged Chunyan tightly and said, "Chunyan, you've given me everything. I will never let you down in this lifetime."

There was a picture of winter plum blossoms on the bed sheet.

The strokes were scattered and disorganized, but the colors were vibrant; they were the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen in my life.

Chunyan kissed me and whispered, "Will we get married in the end? Will you... dislike me later?"

"How could that be? I like you too much to even think about it."

"I'm just afraid that you'll meet even prettier girls in the future..."

Chunyan suddenly lowered her head and burst into tears: "My mother said that's how it is outside. Many migrant workers get together just for fun. In the end, very few of them last. There were two girls in her factory whose boyfriends ran away after they got pregnant."

"Silly girl, I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life, marry you, and have children with you."

I scratched Chunyan's nose.

Actually, I don't have many requirements for my spouse.

A woman who can give birth, knows to come home when it rains, and knows to carry others to the toilet is good enough.

Of course, perhaps I'm too young and don't understand what love is.

But Chunyan truly captivated me. I was happy with her; perhaps she was the love I'd been looking for. With Chunyan by my side, I probably won't be attracted to any other woman.

"I'll remember that. Whether you're a thief, a robber, a beggar, or a street urchin, I'll follow you." Chunyan smiled through her tears.

"If you dare to reject me, I'll curse you as a god."

Since I didn't understand, I asked humbly, "What does '仙人板板' mean?"

"It's your ancestor who's lying on the bed for eighteen generations."

"Oh, I will definitely bring honor to our ancestors and won't let you insult them."

I chuckled and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.

While I was brushing my teeth, Chunyan came in carrying a small basin of hot water.

I didn't know what Chunyan was going to do, so I asked, my mouth full of white foam and my toothbrush clenched: "Ahhhhh...what's up?"

"I'll take a shower."

Chunyan didn't shy away at all. She lifted her clothes, squatted down, and started cleaning.

I froze, staring blankly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chunyan blushed: "I've given you everything, I'm your wife now. Do you mean... I should keep this from you?"
